How to use apple id for imessage

So I'm in two group chats, one with my phone # and another with my email. They were both working fine before but now I can only use the one with my phone # and I can't use the one with my email.
Is there a way to use my email and my phone number or how do I use my apple id instead of my phone # Thanks.

I tried that but on my iphone i can only click on my email and my number is checked but its in grey doesnt allow me click on it and on my Mac, its the opposite, my email is checked but in grey so doesnt allow me to click on it. im realy confused

    Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

    Basically i need to either take it to a shop that can unlock i.e. £40.00
    Be aware, you go that route & every time you try to update or restore, it will error out, leaving your phone unusable. Not to mention, you void all warranty/support.
    Sell it & use the proceeds towards an officially unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.
    Good luck.

    First on a computer try editing your ID to change the payment method to None.
    How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
    You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    If problems see:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    Last:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. You have to use an email address not used with Apple before.
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • Using my apple ID for iMessaging?

    Hi Chris,
    Use the steps in the following article to set up your iPhone for iMessage -
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
    Specifically -
    How do I enable iMessage for use with Messages?
    iPhone: Turn Messages on in Settings > Messages. Messages will begin registration with your carrier-assigned cellular telephone number. Sign in with your Apple ID to also use your e-mail with Messages.

    For starters, you should not be using the same Apple ID. Are you?

    Hello,
    In my opinion, this is the best procedure to use to update your BB OS:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    However, the official download site:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    shows your installed OS to be the current version from your carrier. Therefore, how your friends got a newer OS is a question to ask them and/or your carrier.
    You are, of course, free to use (via the above procedure) any carriers OS package...if another has the newer OS you want, you can use it. If you choose to do so, then simply insert, between steps 1 and 2 in the above procedure, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML
    Good luck.

  • How do i use appl id for my phone?

    how do i use appl id for my phone?

    Sign into the device with the Apple ID.
    Reading the User's Guide might also allow you to ask a more intelligent question and have a much better understanding of how the device works.

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.
